CARMELITE
MONASTERY, 16th - 18th cent. Built on the Hnylopyat river on the site

Carmelites" was founded. In 1648 the armies of B. Khmelnytsky captured
this monastery-castle, which was closed in 1792. A historical museum has
been located on the premises of the monastery since 1925. In 1941 it was
burned to the ground and executions of civilians took place on its site.
Restoration work on the monastery commenced in 1958.
